The SHEKO Concept
Nutrition that works and lasts
Maybe you're here because you want to change something. Maybe you're looking for a way to lose weight healthily without the next yo-yo effect. Or maybe you've heard about our Multi Collagen and are wondering if it can really do something for your skin, your joints, and your well-being. Or you simply feel tired even though you actually get enough sleep, struggle with cravings, or want to bring more energy into your daily life.
Whatever brought you here: You've come to the right place. Because at SHEKO, it's not about you having to choose a specific path. It's about us meeting you where you are right now. Whether you want to start with our Balance Shakes because you want to reach your feel-good weight, or whether collagen is your entry point because you want to strengthen your body from within: In the end, all paths lead to the same goal. To a body feeling that makes you radiate, to energy that lasts, and to a diet that doesn't feel like deprivation, but like a pleasurable balance.

Nutrition should feel good
We firmly believe that healthy eating must be simple, flexible, and enjoyable to become a lasting part of your life. With us, you don't have to choose between a fulfilling life and a healthy body. For us, healthy eating doesn't mean spending hours in the kitchen, giving up everything you enjoy, or constantly feeling guilty because you "sinned."
At SHEKO, we combine scientific knowledge with real everyday life. To do this, we always keep the 80/20 rule in mind: 80% conscious, nutrient-rich nutrition and 20% room for everything else. For the birthday cake at the office. For a spontaneous dinner with friends. For ice cream on Sunday. Because what good is the perfect diet plan if it separates you from everything that makes life beautiful?
SHEKO is not a diet that ends after a short time. SHEKO is a lifestyle that grows with you, adapts to your needs, and meets you exactly where you are. Whether you're looking to start a healthier routine, are already in the midst of it, or simply want to bring more balance into your everyday life: SHEKO adapts to you, not the other way around.

There isn't one right way – there's your way
Our community comes to SHEKO for a variety of reasons. Some have ten, twenty, or more kilos they want to lose. Others stumbled upon a collagen post on Instagram and wonder if it really can be the key to better skin and supple joints. Still others are looking for a solution to their constant energy slumps, cravings, or the feeling that their body simply doesn't want to cooperate the way they'd like.
There isn't one "right" way to start with us. There are several ways you can begin with SHEKO, and they all ultimately lead to the same goal: a life where healthy eating is no longer a burden, but a given. A body that feels good.
Let's talk about these different paths now. Not as rigid plans, but as guidance. As an opportunity to find exactly what suits you and your current situation.
Path 1: Healthy Weight Loss
Path 1: Healthy Weight Loss
Your Start to Balance – Healthy Weight Loss & Arriving
Imagine waking up tomorrow knowing exactly how to reach your feel-good weight. No agonizing decisions, no guilt, no complicated recipes requiring you to buy 20 ingredients. Just a clear, functional structure that integrates flexibly into your daily life.
Path 1 is ideal for you if you want to noticeably lose weight, if you are looking for structure and an easy start. This path offers you a clear plan that will take you step-by-step to where you want to be.
Here's how Path 1 specifically works: You replace two meals a day with our Balance Shake. This is not an ordinary protein shake, but a complete meal replacement with 20 grams of high-quality protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and much more. It contains everything your body needs to function, stay satiated, and burn fat.
The ingenious part? You don't have to starve. The Balance Shake truly keeps you full, not just for one, but for several hours. This is due to the high-quality 2-component protein and the well-thought-out nutrient composition that prevents your blood sugar from going on a roller coaster ride. No cravings at 11 in the morning. No desperate searching through your desk drawer for chocolate at 3 in the afternoon. Just a pleasant feeling of fullness that calmly carries you through the day.

In addition, our 4 Weeks Starter Set includes our SHEKO weight loss program for the challenging first week of dietary change. It contains glucomannan: a plant-based fiber scientifically proven to contribute to weight loss. You take three sticks daily, each before your main meals. What happens then? You feel full faster and stay full longer. You automatically eat less and remain in a calorie deficit. Furthermore, the sticks are enriched with 9 vitamins and minerals, tailored to the respective time of day: activating in the morning for an energetic start, focusing at lunchtime for productive afternoons, relaxing in the evening for a peaceful night.
And then there's one very important thing about Path 1: You incorporate a proper, balanced meal every day. We don't have shake-only days! Proteins, fiber, healthy fats – not from a nutritionist's cookbook, but from your normal kitchen. Why is this so relevant? Because you learn what really matters. You develop a feel for how a healthy meal is put together. And that's exactly the key to making this change permanent, even long after the weight loss phase is over. For inspiration, you'll find delicious, simple recipes in the paperback book that you receive as a gift when you purchase the 4-week starter set.
The goal of Path 1 is not to return to your usual lifestyle after four weeks. The goal is to burn fat healthily without the dreaded yo-yo effect. To have stable energy instead of dragging yourself through the day. To build habits that last in the long term. And most importantly: to stop constantly fighting against your body and instead work with it.
And if after this phase – after a few weeks or months – you realize that you're ready for more, that you don't just want to lose weight but really want to get into balance, then Path 2 is already waiting for you. Or you can start there directly if you don't primarily want to lose weight but simply want to feel better.
Path 2: Focus & Well-being
Path 2: Focus & Well-being
Your Fine-Tuning – Energy, Focus & Well-Being
Perhaps you've completed Path 1 and are feeling great. The first excess pounds are gone, your pants fit again, and you ask yourself: What now? How do I maintain this? How do I turn this into not just a temporary success, but a new lifestyle? How do I go from plan to routine?
Or perhaps you're coming to us from a completely different direction and are starting directly with Path 2. Maybe you don't have a major weight problem at all – maybe it's just one or two kilos of "feel-good fine-tuning" that you'd like to shed. But above all, you feel low on energy. You have that afternoon slump that hits you every day at 3 PM. You struggle with cravings for sweets that come out of nowhere and overwhelm you. Your skin looks tired, even though you stick to your skincare routine. You don't sleep well. Or maybe you stumbled upon the topic of collagen on social media and started to wonder: What else can I do for myself?
All of these are signals from your body. Not for something dramatic, but rather that it needs a little more support. Fine-tuning, so to speak. This is exactly where Path 2 comes in – not as a diet, but as an optimization of your well-being from within. This path is for anyone who wants to leave diet thinking behind and simply wants balance, energy, and a good feeling in their body.
Your setup for Path 2 looks a bit different than for Path 1: You replace one meal a day with a Balance Shake as your healthy routine and basic supply. It remains your anchor. The one meal a day where you can be sure you're getting everything you need. Uncomplicated, nutrient-rich, reliable. For many, the morning shake becomes a ritual that structures the day and helps them start well. It gives you the foundation upon which everything else is built.
But now, additional components come into play that define Path 2. Our Multi Collagen becomes your daily support for skin, joints, and regeneration. You won't notice it immediately, but after a few weeks, you'll see and feel the difference. Your skin will be firmer, plumper, healthier. Small wrinkles will soften. Your hair will feel stronger. Your joints won't protest as quickly, your ligaments and tendons will feel more supple. Collagen works from within and gives your body back what it loses over the years. For all these benefits, you just stir one tablespoon daily into your Balance Shake.
And then there's our Fiber Powder – the silent hero of your digestive system. Fiber is what most people get far too little of. On average, we Germans consume only 18-19 grams daily, although the recommendation is 30 grams. Yet it is so essential: It keeps you full, supports your gut health, and ensures your digestion runs smoothly. No feeling of fullness, no bloating, just a good, light feeling after eating. Fiber is also crucial for stable blood sugar and works hand-in-hand with our Blood Sugar Balance Forte. Just like with collagen, you pimp your Balance Shake once a day with a tablespoon of our Fiber Powder and directly benefit from 8g more fiber.
And this is where the circle closes to blood sugar balance – because fiber and our Blood Sugar Balance Forte are the perfect team. While the fiber ensures that your blood sugar rises gently and steadily, the Blood Sugar Balance Forte capsules further enhance this effect. It is your secret weapon for stable energy throughout the day. No more energy dips after lunch. No more desperately reaching for chocolate because your body is screaming for quick energy. It helps your body keep blood sugar constant. And when blood sugar no longer rides a rollercoaster, your energy no longer rides a rollercoaster either. You remain focused, concentrated, balanced. You will be surprised how much influence stable blood sugar has on your overall well-being, your mood, and even your sleep. You simply take one capsule daily before your most carbohydrate-rich meal – usually lunch or dinner – and benefit from the full effect.
All these products together make up our SHEKO Essentials Set – everything you need for Path 2 to not just function, but to feel truly good. The goal here is no longer the scale. The goal is an all-around good feeling in your body. Balance that feels like your new normal. As a gift, the paperback "The SHEKO Secret" awaits you: our nutrition concept, which is not only scientifically sound but has also been thoroughly tested by our team in practice. With many tips, simply explained nutritional knowledge, and diverse recipe ideas from breakfast to dessert.
Everything intertwines... just like the perfect routine
Here's the crucial point that many only understand after using SHEKO for a while: It's not a single product that makes the difference. It's the synergy. Regardless of whether you started with Path 1 or Path 2: In the end, all SHEKO Essentials interlock like cogs.
Protein is your energy source, your satiety provider, your metabolism booster. It keeps you full for a long time, much longer than carbohydrates or fats ever could. It protects your muscle mass and keeps your metabolism active. Without enough protein, your body becomes sluggish, you feel tired, and you're constantly hungry.
Fiber and blood sugar balance work together to keep your energy stable. No more rollercoaster rides between an energy high after eating and an absolute low two hours later. No more cravings that overwhelm you and throw all good intentions overboard. Instead, constant, calm energy that carries you through the day. You are more focused, more concentrated, more balanced. Your mood is more stable. You sleep better. All of this is connected to your blood sugar.
Collagen is the building block that strengthens and regenerates your body from within. It not only supports your skin to keep it firm and radiant, but also your joints, bones, and ligaments. It helps your body recover – from training, from stress, from everyday life. And while you may have started using collagen for its visible effects on the skin, you'll soon realize that the effect goes much deeper.
This is how a shake becomes a routine. And a routine becomes a new lifestyle. You suddenly realize that you no longer even think about it. It has simply become part of your life. Without compulsion, without effort.
The Science Behind It – Why SHEKO Really Works
What feels so easy and natural has a scientific background. Our products were not arbitrarily selected or put together because they are currently trending. Every single product, every ingredient, every dosage is based on current findings from nutritional science. We have thoroughly researched, investigated, and developed. So that you can rely on results, not on coincidences or empty promises.
First, let's talk about protein. Why is it so important that our Balance Shakes contain 20 grams of high-quality protein? Because protein is the most important lever for both losing weight and maintaining your feel-good weight. Proteins satiate you longer and better than carbohydrates or fats. This has been scientifically proven countless times. It's your protection against cravings and unconscious snacks in between meals. Protein is also thermogenic – meaning your body expends more energy to digest protein than other macronutrients. So, every protein-rich meal automatically boosts your metabolism.
And this becomes particularly important when you're losing weight: protein protects your muscle mass. When you're in a calorie deficit, your body draws on reserves. The question is: which ones? Without sufficient protein, your body breaks down muscle, and that's the last thing you want. Because muscles are your metabolic engine. The more muscles you have, the more calories you burn, even at rest. With sufficient protein, you tell your body: "Please draw on fat reserves, but leave the muscles alone." That's precisely the difference between healthy, sustainable weight loss and a crash diet that leaves you weaker and more tired than before.
However, our Balance Shakes don't just provide any protein, but protein with high biological value. This means your body can utilize it particularly well. Nothing is lost, everything is used efficiently – for your muscles, for your metabolism, for your satiety.
But protein alone isn't enough. That's why our shakes contain 27 vitamins and minerals. These are the silent helpers of your metabolism. The micronutrients that ensure all processes in your body run smoothly. Fat burning? Needs B vitamins. Energy production? Needs magnesium and iron. Skin health? Needs vitamin C and zinc. A healthy immune system? Needs vitamin D and selenium.
When you're losing weight and eating less, there's a high risk that you won't get enough micronutrients. And then you feel tired, sluggish, unmotivated – even if the scale shows less. That doesn't happen with our Balance Shakes. You lose weight, but you feel energetic, focused, and good.
Now for blood sugar balance. Your blood sugar level determines more of your daily life than you probably realize. If it spikes after eating and then drops rapidly, you suddenly feel tired, irritable, or hungry. You reach for sweets, for coffee, for anything that will give you a boost again. And the cycle begins anew.
Our Balance Shakes are formulated to keep your blood sugar stable. Everything works together to create a gentle, steady rise without the dramatic crash afterward. The result? Consistent energy. No cravings. Better concentration. More stable mood.
Our Blood Sugar Balance Forte capsules, which you take with Path 2, further enhance this effect. The patented active ingredient Reducose® from white mulberry leaf, Ceylon cinnamon, and chromium help your body to process carbohydrates better and keep blood sugar even more stable. The effect is scientifically proven: the capsule reduces glucose spikes after carbohydrate-rich meals by up to 40%. This not only prevents cravings but also invests in your long-term health.
Dietary fiber is another key element in the SHEKO nutrition concept. It keeps you feeling full by swelling in your stomach and creating volume. It slows down digestion, so the energy from your food is released slowly and steadily. It feeds your gut bacteria, which in turn are crucial for your health, immune system, and even your mood. And it supports stable blood sugar. Here you can see again how all SHEKO Essentials interlock and reinforce each other's effects.
Our fiber powder helps you easily and simply close the gap between the recommended daily amount and the amount we normally get from our diet.
And finally, collagen. It is the most abundant protein in your body – in your skin, bones, joints, and connective tissue. From your mid-twenties onwards, your body produces about one percent less collagen each year. You notice this in your skin losing elasticity, joints aching more quickly, and longer recovery times after exercise.
By supplementing with collagen, you give your body back the building blocks it needs. Various scientific studies now show that collagen improves skin elasticity, reduces wrinkles, alleviates joint pain, and supports regeneration.
SHEKO is a scientifically-backed nutrition system, not a short-term trend. We've taken the time to meticulously consider every detail, scrutinize every ingredient, and optimize every dosage. The result is a system that truly works – not just for a few weeks, but long-term.
Now it's your turn!
You've now seen that there are different ways to start with SHEKO. Path 1, if you want to lose weight and start with a clear structure. Path 2, if you want to dive straight into fine-tuning – for more energy, better skin, less cravings, simply for a better body feeling.
Many start with Path 1 and switch to Path 2 after a few months, once the first pounds are gone and it's about maintenance and optimization. Others start directly with Path 2 because weight loss is not their main concern, but rather energy and well-being. And still others combine elements from both paths, depending on what they currently need. That is the principle of SHEKO: Flexibility. Adaptability. Not a rigid set of rules, but a system that adapts to your life, not the other way around.
What do all paths have in common? They are scientifically sound. They work. They are suitable for everyday life. And they lead you to a diet that lasts – not a diet that will soon be over.
Welcome to SHEKO. Welcome to a diet that feels good and truly lasts. We look forward to accompanying you on your individual journey!
FAQ: The most important questions at a glance
How many kilos can I lose with SHEKO?
This depends on many factors such as your starting weight, your daily routines, your daily exercise, and especially your diet around SHEKO. We are not fans of radical crash diets, but want to encourage you to adopt healthier long-term routines. A healthy weight loss is approximately 0.5 kg to 1 kg per week. In our testimonials, you can learn first-hand from other Sheko users how much weight they lost in what period and what valuable tips they have. Click here for the testimonials.
Do I need to track my calories?
At the beginning of your dietary change, we recommend tracking the calories of your meals for a certain period to get a feel for the calorie content of different foods. There are now many smartphone apps that make it easy to keep track of the calories you consume daily. These include YAZIO, MyFitnessPal, or Lifesum. The goal is not to weigh every food item precisely for the rest of your life. It is more about developing an awareness of the quantities and types of food consumed. The initial calorie counting is therefore more of a companion on the path to intuitive, but healthier eating.
Why is the shake only recommended with 1.5% milk?
The basic problem is that there are no legally defined nutritional values for milk alternatives such as oat milk or coconut milk. This means that each manufacturer is free to decide how much sugar and which nutrients to add. For low-fat milk (1.5%), this standardization exists through the German Food Code (Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel). This allows us to precisely calculate and state on our cans the nutritional values of the prepared shake with low-fat milk (1.5%). Unfortunately, this is not possible for milk alternatives. However, if you look under "Preparation" on the shake's product page in our shop, you will find some helpful tips from the community. There, we have provided approximate calorie information with, for example, oat milk and yogurt. In our exclusive Facebook group, you will also find lively discussions every day and learn from many SHEKO users how they prefer to prepare their shake.
May I have a snack too?
Absolutely. For us, the rule is: Never replace all meals in a day with our shakes. As long as it fits within your calculated calorie needs, snacks are, of course, allowed in addition to main meals. As always, it's about moderation. However, it doesn't necessarily have to be chips or cookies. Instead, focus on healthier alternatives 80% of the time, as these will keep you feeling full for much longer. For the remaining 20%, indulge in your favorite temptations. A little reminder: 80/20 makes 100% happy. You can also integrate valuable proteins into your snacks. Looking for inspiration? We've put together delicious snack recipes for you here.
Is the shake lactose-free?
Since we use high-quality milk and whey protein for our shakes, our powder contains lactose. However, the majority of the lactose in a prepared SHEKO shake comes from the milk that is added. In the case of 1.5% fat cow's milk, this is approx. 4.9 g per 100 g. Depending on how sensitive your lactose intolerance is, you might be able to prepare the shake with lactose-free milk. 😊 Please note, however, that this will change the nutritional values of the shake. The powder itself has a very low lactose content. There are approx. 1.4 g per 100 g of powder. This means only 0.25 g per shake. Here you can find more information on lactose intolerance and losing weight with SHEKO.
Can I use the shakes during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Pregnancy is a very exciting and important time for you and your baby. During this time, you should generally avoid meal replacements and focus on a healthy and balanced diet. During breastfeeding, there is generally nothing against our shake, as its many nutrients can optimally support you in a healthy diet. We have customers who have had good experiences with the shake during breastfeeding. However, since you and your baby have very special needs during this time, we ask you to still contact your trusted doctor beforehand. At the latest after breastfeeding, you can fully get started with SHEKO again! Without sacrificing taste and all important nutrients, you can easily and time-efficiently replace one to two meals a day with your favorite Balance Shake. Make sure to also eat one to two balanced and healthy meals daily and drink enough water or unsweetened tea. You will be surprised how quickly the pregnancy pounds disappear! We hope this answer helps you. If you want to know more about losing weight after pregnancy, you can find an article about it here.
